Minimum salary requirement to sponsor family

Abu Dhabi: The Federal National Council (FNC) on Tuesday proposed increasing the minimum salary requirement to sponsor families of expatriates in the UAE.
According to the proposal, the minimum salary required for an expatriate - without company accommodation - to sponsor family should be Dh10,000 and an expatriate with company accommodation: Dh8,000.
The FNC resumed its session on Tuesday after National Day and Eid holidays on Tuesday.
An Ad-hoc committee of the House also suggested that family-visa applicants should be asked to submit bank statements of six months, detailing salary transfer.
The House also suggested that an expatriate with a minimum salary of Dh15,000 should only be allowed to sponsor housemaids. It also recommended increasing the annual fee for sponsoring a housemaid to Dh7,000.
